reads this blog and knows me in one way or another, for forgiveness for all the things I may have said, or did, during the last year that just made you want to nsd -kill me.<br /><br />A few things come to mind:<br /><ul><li>Calling in a PMR as a Severity 1 when it probably was a 2.(I only did that once last year...I think)</li><li>Screaming at the Fix central site for numerous reasons I will not mention but if I can ask one question, why can't I just enter my customer number to get a file? hmm?</li><li>To all the Product Managers I have loved and lost and found, thanks for always answering the questions, no matter how difficult, even if it was to say it will be in a future release.&nbsp;</li><li>Whomever manages the certifications and virtual badges I only have 1 question, why doesn't it come in Yellow any more? Otherwise I know it is not your fault, you are just following orders.</li><li>The QA teams. You must exist, I hope you exist, but sometimes I have my doubts. I apologize for the voodoo dolls.</li><li>The naming committee members, oy, I am looking at a small quota on my mail file for those thoughts aren't I?</li><li>PartnerWorld, I apologize for screaming at the most recent changes and it will not happen again...until next year's redesign if you remove my saved links again.</li><li>Watson Workspace team for not creating a 32bit client and driving me crazy trying to get it to work, sorry about all the IMs.</li><li>The NWTL team because I kept losing my links and having the patience to answer me 5 times where to upload the files. Sorry did not get to do it again this term.</li><li>The content management teams that asked for guest blog posts, I find it very hard to write for a non customer facing product so I apologize<span style="font-family: inherit;"> for&nbsp;<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">anthropomorphisizing Websphere. But #DominoRocks via IBM Notes.</span></span></li><li><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">HCL I am really sorry I could not use my Golden Ticket. #Domino2025 will be here soon and I look forward to what you bring us.</span></span></li></ul><br /><div>I'd also like to apologize for the number of times a year I say, Quickr would work so well for this project.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="feedflare">

Would you believe it comes from IBM, not that other blue company that still maintains a legacy 27+ year old office platform? If you have yet to bridge the Internet with your Enterprise, which is where the business benefits can be found, then you owe it to yourself to go listen to your IBM representatives.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">Good Morning Sir or Madam CXO,</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">Once upon a time almost every company used a piece of software that was all encompassing so people who never knew what coding meant, were coding applications that revolutionized their business lines because they had all the pieces they needed right in front of them.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">Yet there is a need within every organization, including your own, where someone says, why can't we do X or how could we do X better?&nbsp; And the person saying it is not a developer but one of your direct reports, or one of their reports far down on the chart. In some cases that idea reaches an internal business analyst and they may, or may not, know how to solve this or which platform to use for it. There may not be any thought given to how it will integrate to your existing applications, CRM or finance package. Suddenly the simple application becomes a massive project and gets shelved before even starting. It also may have become the project from hell that your predecessor was promised.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">But it doesn't have to be this way.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">IBM has embraced and extended their core collaboration software package, the venerable IBM Domino application which helped your parents be successful, and is still here to help you as well.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">Other vendors will tell you they have a new solution, maybe they do, maybe they don't.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">Another blue logo company may tell you they have solved all the issues in their now legacy 17 year old application, but we know you are smarter than their little charade.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">The alphabet soup kids will promise a lot but so far their collaboration efforts are 0 for 2(G+, Wave) and their Enterprise experience is not up to your level of intricacy.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">However, IBM understands your world, in many cases, they built your company for you, and is now putting all of that knowledge into their flagship product. If what's old is new again, then now is the time to revisit a product that provides:</span><br /><br /><ul><li><span style="background-color: white;">Applications that seamlessly interact with the Internet, but maintain your privacy and security while enhancing your productivity.&nbsp;</span></li><ul><li><span style="background-color: white;">Sales people on the road that can visualize and pull their data overlaying a map to know who they can go see in their area.</span></li></ul><li><span style="background-color: white;">Workflows that interact between your CRM, your payroll and finance departments and your HR.</span></li><ul><li><span style="background-color: white;">&nbsp;There is nothing worse than on boarding staff and telling them to go to 5 departments instead of one workflow app which provides most of what they need automatically.</span></li></ul><li><span style="background-color: white;">Write once code that runs offline, online, via a desktop client or a browser, tablet or phone.</span></li><ul><li><span style="background-color: white;">Reduces development time to days or weeks instead of months and gets apps in staff hands faster.</span></li></ul><li><span style="background-color: white;">More sales leads. Just kidding, it can't do everything for you.&nbsp;</span></li><ul><li><span style="background-color: white;">However, it can automate your sales funnels, marketing efforts and help on the road sales teams engage in more clients than you do today. (Some assembly required, email me for details)</span></li></ul><li><span style="background-color: white;">Better meaning for your data.</span></li><ul><li><span style="background-color: white;">IBM Watson integration awaits with all your AI needs now easily accessible to anyone, anywhere you need it.

For more details about it, see the lab on git hub <a href="https://github.com/emckean/serverless-for-managers-lab" target="_blank">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">I had more people at my soft skills presentation on speaking, Monday, than my microservices session on Thursday. To be fair, the latter was near the end of the show and attendance was way down by Thursday. I will post about the Q/A from my Soft Skills talks because that was enlightening.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Notes and Domino</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Yes we will finally get to use .xls instead of .123 for import and exports. And a few things we have been asking about for years but the HCL team is listening and if you have enough information on why you want/need something, they will seriously think about it. Go to Gabriella Davis's <a href="https://turtleblog.info/2018/03/22/ibm-think-so-far-well-thats-interesting/" target="_blank">blog post</a> which includes her presentation on what is new, I can't do it justice.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Sametime is NOT Watson Workspace (WW)</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Yeah, that is obvious but not to everyone yet. Sametime is staying on premises. WW is web/cloud based.</div><div class="MsoNormal">Sametime was Mentioned but nothing pronounced other than some licensing changes and a possible return to "just chat". Rumors of all kinds of things from a streamlined full stack to a completely microserviced architecture were tossed around. Of course it was dwarfed by the WW information. The new shiny in everyone's eyes. Helps it has Zoom built into it and its infancy is growing so stay tuned.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Connections</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Dwarfed by the HCL stuff, Connections had sessions and I went to the troubleshooting one from Roberto and Sharon. Great stuff if you need to dig in deep. Grid looks good but I don't spend much of my time on Connections, although I will be in 2018.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Before I forget , I send my apologies to Heather Graham for cornering her about some things, but knowing each other for 10+ years it happens that some frustrations some with the discussion. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Thank Yous</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Thank you to all the IBM Champions that I met for the first time and the usual cast of characters that I call my friends for helping me out or just talking through ideas or just spending time together which in some cases has been years apart.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Huge thank you to Alan Hamilton and Libby Ingrassia and their staff of IBM Champion wranglers. We are not an easy group to please and can be rather vocal when we want to be and they handled all of us quite well. They also supplied us with swag of the best kind and even got the front row tickets fort the concerts for everyone. They also helped get us some speaking options and other meetings of the secret kind so for all they do, thank you!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Thanks also to the team in THINK Academy that engaged us and let us have some fun in their areas to help people who wanted something other than tech details.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Parties</b><br />A great shout out goes to Ephox for the never miss Aussie Party, the many Business Partners or Vendors that invited me and everyone to imbibe and enjoy ourselves. For the ones I missed, or could not connect with, my apologies, I tried, but there are always plans and misses at the shows. There are also serendipity occurrences you can only put down to being at the right place at the right moment in time.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Skateboards</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Thank you to IBM for the speaker gift certificate for the Logo and Book store. But $40 was not enough to get the skateboard. Libby, can we get IBM Champion ones? <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Next Year</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Next year in San Francisco, in February is the next time this will happen, will see what the future brings before I commit to do this again. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>A Sad Note</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">Lastly, I may not have been as much fun this year as usual. I found out on Monday that my best friend’s father passed away and I could not be there for him in Florida, or home in Israel for the burial. No doubt this influenced my time at the show and the nightly activities. RIP, BDE Rabbi, as I always called him even after I was old enough to call him by his first name.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">As I head home finally, been away for 12 days, and I write this at 10,000 feet above the ocean I wonder if anything I saw will keep me busy for another 20 years like Domino has for so long. I don’t know. Time will tell. Then again I doubt Ray Ozzie thought Notes and Domino would still be alive. <o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="feedflare">

These days we rarely get to extend environments like the early days. Change management, mergers, fiefdoms, lack of training/knowledge and just fear of the unknown prevent us from helping customers sometimes.<br /><br />Dozens of servers, dozens of application directories on each server, you name it they used it or tried it, sandbox apps, nifty 50, OpenNTF templates, apps even I have never seen used in the wild, and I have seen a lot, and have discs of misc. templates from books long gone to history.<br /><br />Except, it is The Titanic of Domino environments.<br /><br />The framework is all there, the structure too, sure it lost all the servers along the way as consolidation brought it to this point of life. It has been unearthed, by me, because it needs to get moved to a new physical server. The effort is not lost on me and I am in awe as I open apps that ran the IT department, handled changes and ID files and looks like a well maintained and curated environment with IT people that documented everything.<br /><br />It is pure and regal just like it was when it ran this Enterprise's world. How would it have known that a merger or two would cause leaks in the infrastructure and the leadership to lose faith in the abilities to keep them running..<br /><br />It could still get up and run today, bring everyone back, there is life here!

One can ONLY import a Lotus 1-2-3 .wk4 file. Since office dropped Lotus 1-2-3 extensions before Office 2013, modern users would be out of luck.<br /><b><br /></b><b>Note to the Notes PM/OM at HCL, please fix this so we can use an .xls /.xlsx in Notes 10.</b><br /><br />However one can import an .ics file(if I only had one),&nbsp; Structured Text (.csv? .txt? maybe?), Tabular text (.csv? .txt? maybe?) so there are options.<br /><br />As it turned out .csv nor .txt were not working files Notes accepts because no matter which way I tried it or named it or entered information, the client says it imported them but they never appeared.<br /><br />Not one to give up easily, off I go to my secondary calendar, Google. Google calendar luckily lets one import a .csv file. Hooray!<br /><br />Loaded it up, found the import option, why it is hidden 3 layers deep in the preferences settings is weird, and the events all appeared on screen, joy! But.... with the wrong times.<br /><br />You see Google calendar has absolutely ZERO ways to set a time zone when using a .csv. Z-E-R-O!<br /><br />I am 10 hours in time zones away from the event, as you can imagine my calendar is a mess. Basically the import worked great, all the data in my .csv came in as expected...except the time zone. I read pages and pages of posts, rants and vba scripts to realize Google does not care about the needs of an international person, let alone their company. If you are an entity that never leaves your time zone, it probably is awesome for you, otherwise, what were you thinking making this junk your standard calendar tool?<br /><br />The only way to fix the time zone issue, before importing the .csv, is to set the times to one's current time zone. So 9:00 AM PCT would be listed in the .csv for me as 7:00 PM. And then you get to pray that when you are in that time zone your phone, calendar and the code all get it right. YIKES!<br /><br />Alternatively, as I did for the Sunday events, I manually opened the events and set a time zone for them.<br /><br />Oh and one more quirk Google doesn't care about, try to put a hyphen in your location reference.<br /><br />You can not do it.<br /><br />Nope, no way.<br /><br />You can not add it by itself, with quotes around it, or any other way. No hyphens allowed.<br /><br />Thus room 120-123 becomes room 120 to 123. Sure not a big deal, but somewhere out there is a developer pulling their hair out until they find this little nugget of an issue.<br /><br />Hours wasted on what should be and easy, save your agenda to an .ics and import it into your calendar. maybe over the next 12 weeks a better solution will emerge.<div class="feedflare">

I could write 10 a day and still never get them done.<br /><br />Over the last few days some people I like, trust and learn from, were bothered by a "op-ed" type <a href="https://www.realwire.com/releases/Lotus-Notes-and-the-GDPR-conundrum" target="_blank">Press Release</a> from the CEO of a company that obviously makes their money by moving IBM Domino shops to Microsoft.<br /><br />Their own website even states in absolute terms "Our mission is to develop user-friendly, cost effective technology solutions to help companies escape the IBM Domino/Notes application landscape.:"<br /><br />From their site I get the impression they have not been around for a long time but obviously are unhappy that people use Notes and Domino. This is their prerogative and in business there are many ways to make money. However, FUD ways are not funny, nor valid reasons to ever do something.<br /><br />In this case they try to angle that the old solution is not up to par for the imminent on May 25, 2018&nbsp;<span style="background-color: white; color: #1e2226; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.25px;">General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the EU.

There is no requirement, that I found, requiring a single view of a customer. And even if there was, given Domino is a flat database solution, the data is sitting in one nsf although it may be called and referenced by others. Of course you may have data shared in various formats across your CRM, your SAP, your individual sales people as well. This would not change no matter what or how you store your data. <i><b>What becomes incumbent on companies is the need to document their data workflows and processes for reporting breaches of the said data.&nbsp;</b></i><br /><br />Domino non-compliant? No way.<br /><br />He then goes on to lay out a process of three steps that are required to help you meet GDPR requirements, namely: Discovery, Data Extraction and Archiving. <b><i>In truth none of these steps do anything except pad a consultants pocket and sell, as we will see, many software licenses.</i></b><br /><br /><b>Discovery</b> phase in which they inventory your Domino servers looking for applications. How exciting! our interns can and should do this for us if the built in tools of Domino can not.<br /><br /><b><i>Again, this has nothing to do with GDPR or Domino, it is just a normal project process.&nbsp;</i></b><br /><br /><b>Data Extraction</b><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">"A key area of importance to the GDPR compliance directives is being able to get to all the data that is held on an individual so that, for example, a request to be forgotten is executed with a high degree of certainty. This means that getting data out of the Notes databases into an easily searched Relational Database is critical."</span></blockquote>What? A did not go to B and definitely did not reach C in that sentence. If you already mapped out your data workflows and locations, then you would have a process in place to eliminate the data asked to be forgotten.<br /><br />You do not need a relational database to do an index lookup, Excel does it quite well and so does your own internal search solution hopefully. If not, you may want&nbsp; to invest in a corporate search appliance but this is still no reason to give up on Domino nor does it prove any non compliance. Just bad FUD.<br /><br />The author then goes on to elaborate about how data could be dumped out of Domino into not one (MS SQL), not two (MS Dynamics), but three (Alfresco) different solutions and somehow this is a better idea? <b><i>Imagine how many licenses and servers and billable hours this requires compared to your existing team looking at your data and mapping it out.</i></b><br /><span style="color: #728893; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span><b>Archiving </b>of data is always fun. those of you with 20 year old tapes of customer data, how will you rectify this? There is a serious business. This however is just bad rhetoric. Do you really need an all encompassing search solution? Perhaps, but if you have workflowed your data, you should know exactly where it resides and be able to easily identify what parts need to be marked/deleted.<br /><br /><b><i>Again, Domino is no different than any other database when it comes to finding your data.</i></b><br /><br />The gist of the PR is a SQL server will give you better control, indexing, deletion of the data. No, it will not and no matter what database or solution you use if you do not document it or manage it properly you will face some huge fines. Any business no matter how small or large if you have personal/private data of EU members you will need to sit down and sort yourselves out.<br /><br /><i><b>In the end, no, moving to Microsoft SQL server will not be more compliant for GDPR than Domino.</b></i><br /><br />You will have spent way too much money to move data from one solution to another for zero, I repeat zero reasons other than you were blindly following some entity because you were ignorant and uninformed!<br /><br />I welcome feedback, further details which maybe I have neglected to research thoroughly enough or even an official statement from IBM or HCL that provides me with a reason to edit this post.<div class="feedflare">

So far nothing I have used outside of Salesforce makes me want to pivot away from ICS, but I always have a soft spot for CRM apps, see my history with SugarCRM.</div><div><br /></div><div>IBM did a webinar yesterday and due to the holiday here I could not be on it live but I just finished the recorded version (only some slight redactions of a few screen shots) and want to report about it. You can watch/listen to it <a href="https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/1604026/E4363C68737A2E3762730F7DF6C24927" target="_blank">here</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-schultz" target="_blank">Bob Schultz </a>the recently crowned GM for IBM Watson Talent and Collaboration Solutions opened the call.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bob then handed it over to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-jefts-4981114/" target="_blank">Richard Jefts</a> who is the GM/VP Collaborative Workflow Platforms for HCL and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-manby-4642171/" target="_blank">Andrew Manby</a> Director of Offering Management for ICS.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonroygary/" target="_blank">Jason Gary</a> of the ICS internal Pink team, now with HCL, also snuck on the call and did a quick Node.js discussion and demo. Leaving Connections to work on Notes and Domino is a loss for the Connections team but a big win for the Domino one.</div><div><br /></div><div>So what did they actually tell us?</div><div><br /></div><div>I am skipping the dev items because I am not a developer and would not explain them well at all. Aside from the Node.js inclusion that will be built in, not bolted on, please go read some other blogs from my developer friends like <a href="http://www.intec.co.uk/domino-10-app-dev-thoughts-scared-excited/" target="_blank">Paul Withers</a>&nbsp;and <a href="http://domino.elfworld.org/whats-in-ibm-domino-v10/" target="_blank">Hogne&nbsp;Pettersen</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redpillnow.com/domino-2025-get-on-board-or-get-out-of-the-way/" target="_blank">Red Pill</a> team.</div><div><br /></div><div>The list is in no particular order includes the following and feel free to provide more details or comment:</div><div><br /></div><div><ul><li><b>256GB NSF sizes</b>&nbsp;- Currently we have a 64GB limit so this is nice but why in a world of unlimited cloud storage and massive mail files is there even a limit of under 1TB? Performance and function. The larger it is the harder it is to maintain it properly and the resources to manage it efficeintly. My guess is IBM has some data to work from and notices database sizes are growing and this is an acceptable compromise.</li><li><b>Leveraging Microsoft Word as an editor </b>- Not sure I like this idea given every single version of Word not only handles regular text and rich text differently it also messes up HTML and XML and O365 is not exactly efficient especially when run from the Cloud. But I understand IBM's reasoning and understand the option should be available.</li><li><b>Team Calendar Enhancements</b> - They were kind of vague about what was new and it was a fast screenshot/demo. Presumably making it easier as the speakers said the loudest voice was to make functions easier to use.</li><li><b>3rd party invitations to a meeting</b>&nbsp;- That you don't own which would be great instead of just forwarding an email or entry but adding someone to a meeting you don't own.</li><li><b>Group forward mails</b> - This we already had so I was not sure what was so new. Sometimes our own people don't even know the 1,001 things we can do with Notes and Domino. Anyone feel free to provide me some edit for this one.</li><li><b>Scheduled email</b> - All I can say is FINALLY! This has been one of the top things I always get from Outlook users that they need. Personally I could use it maybe once in a while so never a big need but i understand why people want it.</li><li><b>iPad app is coming</b>. - I know because I was on the beta until my iPad was no longer included in updates from Apple and thus I can not leverage it anymore. But I have grown apart from my iPad and so while this may be needed, it may have jumped the shark already.</li><li><b>Version 11 and others in pipeline</b>&nbsp; - which means items they could not do for 10 or items which were questionable get pushed forward to what I hope internally the beta will be called Spinal Tap "it goes to 11" edition.</li><li><b>NSF-2 </b>- NSF is getting updates and the future of NoSQL looks to be in good hands.</li><li><b>OAuth support via REST API</b>&nbsp;- which will allow Domino to interact with so many apps and websites that will be exciting to see how this works out.</li><li><b>Domino apps on the Cloud</b>&nbsp;- is a needed service and sounded like it will be coming out.</li><li><b>SAML support is being extended -&nbsp;</b>Not much details provided yet, come to Think is the mantra for more information and SEE it in action.</li><li><b>Elastic search</b>&nbsp;- or just better, broader search is coming.</li><li><b>Active Directory integration</b>&nbsp;- continues because why should you run two different directories.</li><li><b>Client AutoUpdate</b> - Yes, been asking for this for years. Of course big customers with tweaked environments will turn this off, but for the rest of us out there just Thank the team. This presumes they do not just mean an update to SmartUpgrade and a real polling and downloading from a "store".</li><li><b>Automated Database Repair</b> - More proactive database monitoring and automated fixups or whatever goes a long way to letting Admins stop putting out fires and be more proactive in expanding their users worlds of collaboration.</li><li><b>Docker</b>&nbsp;- I am on the fence if this is really a genius idea or just another VM type option. But for companies who want it, it is coming. You can already make use of Domino and Docker in 9.0.1FP10.</li><li><b>Destination Domino</b>&nbsp;- SME and IBM Champions and IBMers will be more proactively writing useful and detailed information in what sounded like a newsletter or another DeveloperWorks community&nbsp; for admins, developers, security people and business owners. As they said on the call communication is key and they have planned many routes to inform everyone about what is going on.&nbsp;</li><li><b>3rd party mail integration</b>&nbsp;- "At THINK" more will be known, shown, etc.. Being a mail person I am very interested in what they have in mind.</li><li><b>Verse and Desktop client parallel development work</b>&nbsp;- going on because large groups exist for both currently.</li></ul></div><div><br /></div><div>ETA for Domino 10? 2018 which is a vague way of saying 2nd half of the year.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="feedflare">

They have even been compiled in one video. Even the great ones fail, that is how they get better.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ambXDKFZhN8/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ambXDKFZhN8?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><br />Once in a while it is nice to write myself, and my readers, the finer point of failures and what we learned from them.<br /><br />Keep in mind:<br /><ul><li>we are all professionals</li><li>we all reviewed the contract</li><li>we all reviewed the specifications</li><li>we thought we knew the people involved</li><li>we had more than enough time to complete this by 12/31...2017</li></ul>So in the interest of open, honest reporting, let's drop into hell, shall we?<br /><br />Never get into a mail migration(ok, any serious project) that involves a 3rd party.<br />If you can't handle it all on your own, get a friend, a resource, someone on your side to handle whatever part you do not know. This alone may save you 1-2 hours A DAY on average during the project.<br /><br />Date, or No Date, there is no wait and see<br />If you propose some dates for the cut over and the client is not comfortable with them, you better find out why upfront. And not just the easy reasons but the hard ones, like the training person isn't available for 6 months or the boss is on sabbatical for 2 months or no one explained that they would be giving out new hardware at the same time to people (phones and PCs) or well you get the idea.<br /><br />Vacations Happen<br />Mine, yours, theirs and of course once the dates are in motion you look bad for taking vacation at the time they finally want to move everything. Which leads to...<br /><br />Backups<br />Not data, that is easy. People. Techs. How many of us out there really have a good backup person in our organizations or that we can work with on minimal notice with enough knowledge of the solution and process at hand? I may be a better troubleshooter and am not talking about that aspect, but I am referring to the ability to holistically look at a solution in motion and keep it going while I/you are unavailable. This is one reason is document everything along the way and store it in Connections or a Notes db or Dropbox so if I can't be there to do it, someone can easily pick it up and run with it.<br /><br />Caveat Emptor<br />Migrations of anything come with caveats. Data should be ok, folders, encrypt ions, repeating meetings, large attachments(like over 1GB) and numerous other items should be addressed and explained upfront to the customer.No, it will not prevent that horrible meeting where they claim you never told them, explained them or sent it to them, but you can try. Most clients really do not understand many aspects of the projects and even when explained in non technical terms they just say yes, yes and we all know the end will come back and we will explain it all over again.You are shaking your&nbsp; head at this one or laughing because it happens nearly every time.<br /><br />Leap Frog<br />Planned it all out, everyone agreed to the order in which the data will migrate and which date. Along comes someone and demands to get moved or needs it done before their vacation or just can't wait to be the first guinea pig on the new thing they did not get trained on yet because they hate the old thing.<br /><br />It happens, in 30 years or so of projects this happens maybe once a year or 2. Acceptable, but frustrating too.<br /><br />Karma however wins every time.<br /><br />Next project was quick and easy, unexpectedly.<br /><br />So here's to all of you far under water on a contract and know when it is done you will at least have good stories to tell your (IT) friends.<div class="feedflare">

Examples? How about:<br /><br /><ul><li>The AI Bar where it knows your mood when you walk in and provides the appropriate drink.</li><li>The IoT Plane Seat that automatically reduces the movement of your chair if you have unruly adults behind you.</li><li>Collaborative lunch plans when your email/chat/IM/text/messenger/Facebook/Twitter feed senses you should eat and go with people ready at the same time. (choice of foods is still left to you)</li><li>Teenager Security, keeping you alert to when your teenager....</li><li>Beer chilled data center servers, because once you move non essential stuff to The Cloud, you need to get some ROI from that space and every company should have their own microbrewery.</li></ul><br />Yes, in addition will be the Websphere, DB2, Tivoli, MAAS360, Trusteer, Smarter Planet, I P and Z series hardware, Kenexa, Redbooks and lots of things you never knew IBM sold.<br /><br />Okay, what am I presenting on you ask? Here you go:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><b>I'm a Lego Man living in a Duplo World</b><b><br /></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #323232; font-family: , &quot;helvetica neue&quot; , &quot;arial&quot; , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">"Try it you'll like it", works for food, alcohol and TV shows, but doesn't work very well for software, does it?

Ray, feel free to let me know otherwise.<br /><br />IBM today announces that development of Notes and Domino will continue indefinitely.<br /><br />I realize none of you reading this ever thought it would die, although certainly various executives and competitors wished it were so every year. And yet, it lives on and with this new direction will continue to spread collaboration and workflow in ways no other product on the market can do today.<br /><br />Come on kids, go out and write a better all purpose system, IBM dares you and yet no one has to date.<br /><br />And now, probably no one ever will need to because it may just out live us all.<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">"HCL also expanded its relationship with IBM to collaboration solutions, including Notes, Domino, Smart Cloud Notes, Verse and Sametime." </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/goog_463469034"><span style="font-size: x-small;">-&nbsp;</span></a></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.livemint.com/Companies/BpxtRX3Lvs7hJs1eKRdGlL/HCL-Technologies-Q2-net-profit-rises-86-to-Rs2188-crore.html">http://www.livemint.com/Companies/BpxtRX3Lvs7hJs1eKRdGlL/HCL-Technologies-Q2-net-profit-rises-86-to-Rs2188-crore.html</a></span></blockquote>Even Sametime gets new life. I wonder if they can now resurrect Quickr. A man can dream can't he?<br /><br />Oh and IBM is putting out Notes and Domino 10 in the second half of 2018.<br /><br />And just in case you REALLY wanted these apps to do something they do not, or for the haters to fix something you feel is wrong, IBM will be having an Ideation Jam called #Domino2525 where you get to give your input for the future product road maps. Go register over <a href="https://www.ibm.com/social-business/us-en/announce/domino-jam2025/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br /><br />The HCL deal is not an unexpected solution to a conundrum that I had raised over 9 years ago in this <a href="http://blog.vanessabrooks.com/2008/03/googles-offline-apps-time-is-now.html" target="_blank">post</a>&nbsp;although from a different angle.<br /><br />We are boldly going where no one has gone before except Buzz Lightyear because he went to infinity and beyond.<div class="feedflare">

DAC KnowsMost of you reading this are my Yellowverse bubble, BPs, consultants, advisers, fellow IBM Champions and a few friends so this will not be new news to you.<br /><br />To the few, the proud, the admins and executives who are blessing me with a few minutes of their time, this may come as huge news, or not.<br /><br />You already moved your mail to the<a href="https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSL3JX/scnotes/over_smartcloud_notes.html" target="_blank"> IBM SmartCloud Notes</a> cloud mail, humor me for a minute even if you have not yet. You are sitting on a small server farm or VM landscape supporting your core, enterprise grade, money making, workflow functioning Domino applications.<br /><br />Obviously because you did not like the idea of co-location or you would have done that at least 10 years ago.<br /><br />Probably you never wanted your proprietary data to be residing permanently outside of your firewall and did not look into any hosting options, public or private, even if <a href="https://prominic.net/" target="_blank">Prominic </a>has been hosting Domino for decades?(I do not work for Prominic but have used their services over the years)<br /><br />Officially you say you would never let your data outside your site....and then the CFO or CEO says kill the servers by Dec 31. What do you do?<br /><br />Road Trip!<br /><br />Yes your data is about to go on a one way trip. One way because who brings everything back in house once it is out? Do you have your post college married children living at home with you now? Don't answer that.<br /><br />IBM has decided to help you and if you can meet the requirements, your applications will get the VIP treatment(you pay for it of course) and you get some benefit as well, like no more 3AM server down emergencies.<br /><br />For $27 PER APPLICATION, IBM will host your app at the Domino Application on Cloud (DAC) server in a data center near you, well your country not city, in a Docker container with a Linux machine (I'd like to think there is a beautiful Z series doing this someplace) which means you get most of the comforts of home providing you meet some requirements as follows:<br /><br /><ul><li>The application can not be larger than 25GB (unknown if this includes the index or not)</li><li>The app must start with the letter L</li><li>Bring your existing IBM Domino license</li><li>You must sign on for a year upfront (this isn't Burger King's "Have IT Your Way")</li><li>Seems like you need a minimum of 10 applications although I am sure IBM would be happy to charge you $270/month for 1 application if that is what you really want. If you think about it, hosting your own server will cost at least that much once you figure in all your costs so it's a good deal?</li></ul>Want the full details? Here you go the full slide deck: https://goo.gl/hDurDG<br /><br /><br />You get all the nice parts of an IBM Domino Utility server so NO mail functions. See above where I mentioned the mail in the cloud part.<br /><br />So how much are your Domino applications worth? $324/yr/app seems ludicrously low to me. Your applications run your business and bring some serious value to you, don't belittle them.<br /><br />However, you probably stopped asking for big budget money for your Enterprise solution years ago, so your boss thinks this is a steal. Which it is and if you act in October when it becomes available your local IBM rep or BP(ahem, ask me about it) will love you even more.&nbsp;<br /><br />PS - Just kidding about the app must start with the letter L, everyone knows it is the letter I<div class="feedflare">

Let's back up a second.<br /><br />Why the name Workspace? I have no idea, I thought it was a beta name. Seriously now, it is because the young generation of marketers were not born when us old people were using ICQ, AOL and other vintage messaging tools and they prefer the old school term of collaboration, so collaborative workspaces. Yes. I know IBM calls it a messaging app, semantics, semantics.<br /><br />So Watson Workspace is an IM program, sorry, I mean a collaborative workspace in which your discussions can be analyzed and enhanced by the cognitive capabilities of Watson. and it is FREE!<br /><br />Why would you want this? Some of you out there that do not have the FOMO (fear of missing out) problem can get an easy recap of those 100 messages about whether to call the next product a number or a verb and just tell you the outcome.<br /><br />No, it will not automagically answer people that ask you something, but as bots expand and more developers get a hold of the code I believe this will come soon enough. Good thing too, as someone who sits 7 hours ahead of EST, by the time I read the messages the discussion is over, so an automatic bot would be nice.<br /><br />But when you just want that executive summary, I know of no other IM, sorry collaborative messaging platform that provides this benefit. Leave me a comment if you do.<br /><br />There is a mobile version and a windows desktop edition (64bit only, sorry tree huggers) in addition to a browser version.

If they are not sold on using us, price becomes the scapegoat. This is true.</li><li>Marketing advisors would say our value proposition is not clearly reaching out target market and we should either move down or up, depending on our circumstances and expectations of clients. This is true as well sometimes.</li><li>Financial people would tell us that they have a budget they can not exceed, which we know is not true because if the CEO, or another executive with power, want something, they get it, no matter the cost. This is true too.</li><li>Technical people will tell you they can get it done in a day or two. However, they first have to clear their existing project or support items and then involve a few teams of people and plan the change management, etc.. This is true too, except it will not get done until next year, usually.</li></ul><div>What is rarely understood, although we do explain this all the time, is your code-monkeys&nbsp;will spend days trying to fix something that an expert sees and can fix in a few minutes or hours. When this is an internal resourced project, it seems, no one cares about time or cost. When it is an external resource, that is another story entirely.</div><div><br /></div><div>A friend of mine recently spent, per their post, 5 hours on an email configuration issue.After I asked why they didn't ask my help for what I know to be a five&nbsp;minute fix, we then walked through the config and solved it. Even though they knew I&nbsp;have spent over 20 years on messaging systems, they did not ask for help until they had wasted quite some time. ( I am still hoping they used hyperbole and it was really an hour or 2 which is still too long)</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, if they are the hourly billing type of person they have a dilemma, do they bill for the wasted hours of troubleshooting or part of it or none of it? If they bill by the project, this would not matter because things like this are expected and included in the pricing. It never makes one happy, but on the other hand, you gain valuable knowledge and experience to solve a problem for next time in seconds, and THAT is huge money to be made...when you bill by the project and not hourly.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course, I can't bill for five minutes of work, well I&nbsp;could if they weren't my friend. The bill would be like the famous joke about the guy with the hammer who knew just where to hit the machinery. I could bill anything just to solve the problem, whether it took me five minutes or five seconds.&nbsp;</div><br /><br />Yes, cheaper solution providers exist, but they are not IBM Champions or Microsoft MVPs or Salesforce MVPs or whatever leaders in their respective fields that while we may not have encountered every issue, we are very battle tested and call upon our other friends to help us because that is what experts do in life.<br /><br />We trust others to help us in return for the help we lend them. This for me is one of the best things about being an IBM Champion and knowing people that are the equivalent across many platforms. No one wants to ask for help, it is seen as a weakness, but once you get over this your world is much better as is all the people you engage with over the years.<br /><br />If you are an IT manager, price means nothing when the issue is Enterprise important. If you think otherwise, your company will never get ahead of your competition. Work with experts who help make you look better to your boss, not cause your boss to look for replacements for you.<div class="feedflare">
